Floating Village - Our guide Meng made this trip truly memorable. His enthusiasm and love of his country shone through. To be able to walk through local markets and taste different fruits and see how the local people trade was something special. Visiting the people in the floating village was also a highlight. To be able to walk through the village and see kids playing and others learning in school was a memory that will never be forgotten. Thank you Meng for making this tour so memorable.

Best tour - The cheerful staff MENG carefully taught us a lot about Cambodia. As someone who doesn't speak English well, there were some things I didn't understand, but the atmosphere helped. I can only thank MENG for enlivening me throughout. I hope you will continue to liven up Cambodia. Joe.

Great guide, beautiful village - The tour was amazing! The floating village was interesting and the sunset on the boat was beautiful. But the best part was our guide Meng. He was super nice and full of energy. He learned us a lot about the culture surrounding the village. Also our driver, Mr. James Bond, was skilled and supplied us with bottles of cold water.

Floating Village experience - This is a must do tour when in Siem Reap, was looked after from the minute of pick up to drop off. Our guide Tear was amazing and looked after us all so well, he remembered all our names and made the trip so personal telling of his family connections to the history of the area. Had so much fun and learned so much. Also as I have mobility issues I was concerned about the boat trips etc but there was no need, everything was accessible and Tear was always there to help if needed. Totally recommend

MENG is a fantastic tour guide - Great excursion with interesting insights into village life. Our guide MENG was excellent, he knew a lot to report, has a good sense of humor and provided a good atmosphere in the group. MENG responded to all the questions and needs of the group, was able to remember every name of the participants (which impressed me a lot) and spoke perfect English. He even took group photos, which he then sent to everyone in person. I can highly recommend the tour with MENG!
